The invention discloses a lake surface ice breaker. The lake surface ice breaker comprises a cylindrical shell and a supporting shell, a limiting ring is fixed to the side face of the cylindrical shell, a hollow structure is formed in the supporting shell, the portion, located on the limiting ring, of the cylindrical shell is sleeved with the hollow structure, the portion, located in the hollow structure, of the cylindrical shell is sleeved with a spiral spring, the top of the spiral spring is fixed to the bottom face of the limiting ring, and multiple supporting legs are fixed to the bottom of the supporting shell. An ice layer is broken through cutting, as the contact area between the cutting portion and the ice layer is small, large-area breakage of the ice surface is avoided, and accidents caused by ice surface breakage are reduced. In addition, the spiral spring serves as a buffering element during force application, the contact area between a cutting component and the ice surface can be controlled, it is avoided that the cutting component gets stuck and then is broken, and the service life of the component is prolonged.
